Abstract:Abstract. Probabilistic characterization of a system's response under random dynamic input is essential for performance-based engineering. Monte Carlo simulation is the only general method available for estimating response statistics. However, the method is computationally expensive for realistic structural systems since it involves repeated deterministic dynamic analyses for a large number of samples of the random input. The framework of random vibration is also inadequate for calculating response statistics … Show more
